    I’m not happy about it, but it makes sense.
    They’re trying to avoid polarizing issues so as to not alienate undecided voters. Either way a democratic presidency would be better for LGBTQ people than a MAGA presidency, so I’m not too upset about our issues being put on hold for a few days to achieve that. I imagine they’ll become a little more vocal about them once they’re actually in the White House, and if not we’ll still be better off regardless.

    Transgender people are a minority amongst minorities, catering to them while potentially alienating so many more voters is not a wise strategy. Reasonable trans voters will already vote for Harris because they know what’s at stake.

    I don’t like it, but if it means keeping fascists out of the office, I can live with it.

      Yes, let’s leave it up to the states and do nothing for people in the south. If you wanna be queer MOVE TO CALIFORNIA and if you can’t afford rent we will sends pigs to kill you. Fuck electrical poltics, embrace community

    because they’re already committed to the equality act and fighting anti trans laws in office; there’s no need to get in a tug of war with culture war issues when it’s more important to split up the republican party and erode support for trump in battlegrounds.

    plus places like the nyt and the rest of the transphobic outlets would just push more anti trans pieces instead of talking about the actual issues.
